Artist Johannes P. Osterhoff (whom you may remember from his paintings using OS X elements) has been reusing Apple’s interface elements again. His latest project is a real-life construction of the Home icon from OS X, which he’s made into a wearable display. The doors and shutters are actually real (if a little small), there are real curtains in the windows, and there are two straps on the back to haul the piece of art around.
It looks great — it’s really wild to see something that’s only ever existed in pixels translated into real-life materials from actual plans and blueprints. The piece itself is called Home Sweet Home, which seems fitting. We’ll have to keep an eye out for Osterhoff and see what else can do with Apple’s little bits of interface.
